We will explore a variety of techniques with UV resin, including:

• Dying with pigments
• Floating objects
• Using silicone molds
• Using open and closed bezels

This workshop will focus on efficient methods of creation. It is a good idea to have a few ideas ahead of time of what you want to make. We will have a large selection of colors, mica pigments, foils, flowers, and more to choose from. Folks wanting to work with photos should bring prints to work with.

Basic findings were also provided, with additional findings available for purchase. Each person will create between 2 to 6 pieces. All materials are included but feel free to bring your own bits of inspiration.
